after I eat lunch at work I feel like I'm falling asleep, I'm in pain, I have a major headache and I feel like my brain is shutting down. and I'm not eating a big lunch and try to eat healthy. could it be because of the carbs? It's like my body can't digest it.

does anyone else have the same problem? or have any tips?

    Do you have Gluten Intolerance perhaps Mika? I am a Celiac so if I accidentally ingest gluten, I have those same symptoms including bloating. You could also have a slow digestion. Carbs can take longer to process and when we have a sluggish digestive tract, it takes a great deal of energy to process the food. Or it could be an intolerance to some of the foods you are eating.

      Hi! Thanx for your answer! I don't have celiac but I think you could be right about the slow digestive.. now that  I think about it I also need to eat like 4-5 hours before working out and not less otherwise I feel sick.. I'll try to keep track of it.. thank you smile

    You could also have a wheat intolerance. Try going wheat free for awhile and see how you go. It takes a bit of detective work but you will eventually find some answers. All the best. Maggie
